This IDC study examines the competitive landscape of the Canadian ISO and NDOS markets. This document presents IDC's 2005 ISO and NDOS revenue estimates for the major service providers, analyses the leading companies' actions and strategies, looks at the future competitive outlook, and provides guidance for vendors in the market. The ISO/NDOS market is undergoing fierce competition.
